"W.R." refers to the name of Rachmaninoff's father. Sergei erroneously thought that his father had come up with the melody that became the main theme of his polka. It turned out that this tune that his father used to whistle, was an existing melody by a composer whose name I forgot. I'm sure you can easily find the composer's name with the help of any online search engine. I hope this answers your question.
So masterful oh my god the voicing in the beginning 👍 even tho its only piano roll its nice to hear such a modern sounding recording
This is quite liebeslied-y
